MEMORANDUM 1993 TO: David T. Harden, City Manager FROM: J1!IRobert A. Barcinski, Assistant City Manager SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM CITY COMMISSION MEETING 11/08/94 APPROVAL LEASE PURCHASE GOLF COURSE UTILITY CARTS DATE: November 2, 1994 ACTION CJ..ty Commission is requested to approve a four year lease purchase of four golf course utility carts with Club Car, under GSA Contract #GS0772810 NSN2340-01-384-8761, in the amount of $19,360. One year payment is $5,434.04. Funding is available in the Golf Course Pro Shop "Other Rental/Lease Costs" account #445-4713-572-44.90. BACKGROUND The golf course currently has eight utility type vehicles in its fleet for use on the driving range, course beverage sales, and for maintenance. This purchase will replace three existing vehicles and add one to the fleet for maintenance use. Per the attached memorandum from Mr. Dubin, the maintenance division now uses up to five regular golf carts, which through this purchase they will no longer need. This will save the cost of renting five additional golf carts during the winter months. Club Car will also provide one additional utility cart free due to our purchase of 80 golf carts, and Coca Cola is providing one cart for beverage sales. The net effect on the fleet is three additional utility carts. See attached analysis. RECOMMENDATION Approve award of four year lease purchase of four utility carts from Club Car, per the recommendation of Mr. Dubin.

Enclosed please find the agreement discussed during a meeting with pertinent stakeholders of such an event, and with Mr. Tom Purdie, Vice President of Basketball on Wednesday, October 5, at the Chamber of Commerce. This signed agreement is necessary for the event to be properly planned, coordinated, and for finalizing of sponsors. Some points of the discussions: * Hoop It Up is a 3-on-3 Basketball event sponsored by the NBA and NBC Sports. * "Street Basketball" IS an effective low-cost promotion that can activate the entire community. * In 1994, 21 out of 27 NBA Teams are in partnership with Hoop It Up, including the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic. * FAU Midnight Madness Basketball Rally (October 13-14 1994) had 2,000 players and referees. Volunteer pool and player pool can be funneled into this event on Atlantic Avenue. * Event promotions and sponsorship on national and local level for radio and television are already in place.

Charity selection could be based on volunteer participation. * "Average" participant in a Hoop It Up 3-on-3 is Male, 32 years old, 50% are blue collar / 50% are corporate employees, 50% are black / 50% are white. * An event of this magnitude could put Delray Beach Florida on a map with some of the largest cities in America. * Could bring large groups of people as spectators and players to Delray Beach from a three county radius. * MADDADS children already have 10 teams available. ( Hoop it Up is willing to lower the entry age to 8 and 9 based on this number of teams already available). Please let me know what other steps need to be taken to finalize this event. The deadline for printing the 1995 program book is fast approaching.

County Staff will be reconunending the conveyance with the caveat that the City lease the premises to the Head Start Program until such time as the Head Start Program can be moved to an alternate facility. It is anticipated that the deed will contain a reverter clause that if the property is used for anything other than public recreational programs, it will automatically revert back to the County. I have contacted Ed Rich who . is in charge of the Head Start Program to discern when Head Start anticipates moving to the Old Carver Middle School.

Harden, City Manager FROM: Richard M. Lincoln, Major ~JI' Acting Chief of police DATE: October 24, 1994 SUBJECT: PARKING VIOLATION FINES Attached for your consideration is a brief overview of the parking fine structure for the City of Delray Beach as well as surrounding cities. As you can see, our present fine of $10.00 for parking violations and $100.00 for handicap violations seems to be on the low side when considering other local entities. It would be my recommendation that consideration be given to raising the fines to $20.00 for all violations with the exception of handicap parking violations which would be $250.00. This fine structure would be in line with others in our area. I would also recommend that the City Ordinance be modified so there would not be a disparity between the fine structure for beach meter parking violations and other parking violations as is presently the situation. Please advise if further information or discussion is necessary on this matter.

Lincoln Field Operations Bureau FROM: Captain Joseph L. SChroede~ Patrol Division Commander DATE: October 18, 1994 SUBJECT: PARKING FINES ------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------- A survey of local municipalities concerning their fine structure for parking violations was conducted by Sergeant Robert Bradley. The survey shows that Delray Beach is definitely on the low side when it comes to parking fines. Based on this information, I propose that Delray Beach increase the fines for parking violations as outlined below. Parking Violations: METER OVERTIME PARKING # $20.00 NOT BETWEEN LINES.................................. $20.00 OVERTIME PARKING.................................... $20.00 FIRE HYDRANT/LANE................................... $20.00 ON SIDEWALK... ... .................................... ... $20.00 POSTED NO PARKING ZONE........................ $20.00 TOO CLOSE TO INTERSECTION.................... $20.00 OTHER $20.00 This increase doubles our current fine, yet is still below the average of the thirteen (13) agencies we surveyed. ; J Handicap Parking Violations: This fine should be raised to $250.00. {. '. .n. ,- This would be an ideal time to revamp our parking fine structure. Our new volunteer parking program will be underway very soon which should increase the number of parking tickets issued. Parking violations are a problem throughout the city and by increasing the fines, we might deter some of the violations. Your consideration in this matter is appreciated. 'It' JLS/gb '. DELRA Y BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: Captain J. L. Schroeder Patrol Division Commander FROM: Sergeant Robert Bradley $ Special Operations Secti DATE: October 3, 1994 SUBJECT: PARKING FINES SURVEY --------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- Per your memorandum of September 28, 1994, I checked on the amounts of fines levied by various municipalities up and down the coast. I have found that here in Delray Beach, we are on the low side when it comes to revenue generating via parking tickets. As a result of this survey, there is a definite need to raise our fining structure and possibly augment several of the fines to adjust to the seriousness of the violation. The following are the survey results: Parking/Handicap $25/$250 Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Pompano Beach, West Palm Beach*, Broward Sheriff's Office $20/$200 Lake Worth $20/$100 Jupiter $30/$100 Greenacres $25/$100 Lantana . $10/$250 Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, Juno Beach $10/$100 Ocean Ridge, Delray Beach The Town of Palm Beach has a different fine structure, as follows: $10 Expired Meter $20 Other Parking Violations $30 Double Parking $40 Fire Hydrants $250 Handicapped '. .

As you may be aware, the School Board purchased 4.14 acres just west of the existing site to be utilized in conjunction with our expansion renovation project at Pine Grove, which will begin this fiscal year. Playground facilities at the site now are insufficient due to the lack of land. This need will be critical once the expansion work begins. The 1990 Consensus Statement urged the City to acquire the parcel the School Board just purchased. We have acquired this parcel and now seek your assistance in developing a playground at this site. If the city is able to assist, please contact Mr. Lawrence Zabik at 407/434-8510 to coordinate your efforts. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, ê-7J!~~ C.

It was the consensus of the Education Board, thatr at the very leastr this property should be looked at as a parking solution for the high school and Aquacrest. The Atlantic High School Parents Association and the Seacrest Homeowners' Association met with the Board and are recommending joint use and development of the site for school expansion and recreational use. The Board recommends that if City Commission approves this recommendation, members of the task force should include someone from the Education Board, Seacrest Homeowners' Association and the High School Parent Teacher Association. Thank you for your consideration. Education Board RH:rab:kwg cc: City Commission David T. Harden Robert A. Barcinski File:grahamkw/edboard Doc.:edbrdltr.092 Tr-i ,- :'::" T /\:_ \\1 , '\ -j hiS. 3 ..-~~, t". , J¡~ . . Mayor Lynch noted that the City Commission Minutes would reflect discussion which took place. He suggested that Ms. Weinberg should continue to address her problems and/or inquiries to the City Manager; however, she still has the oppor- tunity to address the Commission if a problem still exists. 11.B.2. Mrs. SDencer PomDev, representing The Naciremas Club, extended an invitation to attend The Naciremas Club's 50th Golden Anniversary celebration which will be held September 11, 1994 at 6:00 P.M., at The Embassy Suite in Boca Raton. The Keynote Speak- er will be U. S. Representative Alcee L. Hastings and the Master of Ceremonies will be Clarence Anthony, Mayor of South Bay. -11.B.3. Pam Carlisle, Chairman of the Advisory Committee at Atlantic Community High School, addressed the Commission in regard to the condition and expansion of the high school. She noted that there are many issues which need to be addressed, such as: inadequate eating space, deteriorating classrooms, a lack of assembly space and insufficient weight room facilities. These are only a few of the items which need to be addressed, along with the general maintenance and upkeep of the high school. Some of these issues are presently being addressed by the school's staff and the School Board. These items will be addressed on an as-needed basis. She pointed out that, with the exception of the portable structures which are currently on the school site, there is virtually no room for expansion. A parcel of land containing four acres is directly west of the school (across Seacrest) which is currently going into foreclosure proceedings. The school feels that this would be an appropriate site for a gym and/or athletic facility to be utilized by the school and could also serve as a civic center for the northern boundary of Delray Beach and the southern boundary of Boynton Beach. The coopera- tion of Palm Beach County, School Board and the cities of Delray Beach and Boynton Beach will be necessary. Ms. Carlisle suggested that the City take the lead J..n this endeavor and urged the Commission to recommend that the School Board purchase the aforementioned property and agree with the suggested proposed development. 11.B.4. Joanne Peart, 107 N.W. 9th Street, speaking on behalf of Deborah Dowd, Director of the Seacrest Homeowners Association who was unable to attend the meeting this evening, stated that the Association supports the proposed expansion for the high school. She pointed out that the Neighborhood Task Team targeted the property under consideration as one of the three areas which were in need of improvements. The Task Team has worked very hard for three years to upgrade this blighted area. She noted that this particular property was also targeted by the CRA for special funding. County Commissioner Mary McCarty and Bob Hayes, Chair- man of the Education Board attended a recent meeting of the Seacrest Homeowners Association to discuss this issue and have extended their full support for the proposed expansion of the high school. -17- 8/16/94 '. . 11.B.5. Toni Delfiandra, 14 Dixie Boulevard, President of the Del Ida Park Neighborhood Association, stated that the Associa- tion offers its full support and urged the Commission to be receptive to the development proposal. 11.B.6. Bob Ha ve s , Chairman of the Education Board, informed the Commission that the Education Board fully endorsed the expan- sion proposal for the high school at its meeting of August 24th. He also urged the Ci ty of Delray Beach to take the lead in this endeavor. In anticipation of this proposal, the Education Board has addressed the issue with Carol Shetler, Principal of Atlantic Community High School. The Board asked that she appoint two representatives, one from the junior and senior class, so that they could present their input on issues which are important to the students. It was pointed out by Mayor Lynch that Delray Beach will have a newly constructed middle school and that the City of Boynton Beach anticipates two new high schools, east and west. He asked if Mr. Hayes was aware of the School Board's intent as to the long range plans for Atlantic Community High School. Mr. Hayes stated that the Sharing for Excellence Pro- gram anticipated the long term need for a high school in the western area of the City and there was a possibility of a middle school and elementary school to be located in the southeast area. Mayor Lynch thought that it would be practical for Atlantic Community High School to be converted to a middle school because there will be new high schools located in Boynton Beach. He did not think it would make made good sense to have a high school located at the most northern border of Delray Beach. He felt that if there was a middle school where Atlantic is current- ly located, then the two middle schools could be strategically placed, with a high school to be centrally located and accessible to both the white and black communities. It was pointed out by Mayor Lynch that the School Board should inform the City as to their proposed five and ten year capital improvement plan for this particular area of the County. 11.B.7. Jerrv Marshall, resident of Woodlake, stated that the School Board does have a five year budget program; however, there is no reference to Atlantic Community High School in this pro- gram. He point out that several years ago the City of Boynton Beach met with representatives of the School Board and requested that a high school be constructed near Motorola so that there would be a magnet school located in the vicinity in conjunction with Motorola. Mr. Marshall informed the Commission that the School Board definitely plans to construct an elementary school on ten acres at the Morikami site. Construction will begin within sixty days and should be opened for enrollment in August, 1995. Mr. Marshall suggested that representatives of the City should attend the School Board meetings on a regular basis so -18- 8/16/94 . ~ OUTLINE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH EDUCATION BOARD PROPOSED BOUNDARY CHANGES REASONS TO CONSIDER BOUNDARY CHANGES - Existing conditions, i.e. ¡ too many attendance zones, irregular boundaries, long busing distances - Provide input to School Board as they address OCR mandates - Recommendations contained in Visions 2005 and Sharing for Excellence in Schools 1994 BOUNDARY REVIEW GOALS - Reduce total number student attendance zones - Reduce busing distances - Attempt to maintain neighborhood integrity even out boundaries - Reduce student population / number of portables - Try to attain OCR mandated student population %IS¡ i.e. ¡ 6% to 40% Black EXISTING DATA PROPOSED ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHANGES - Existing vs,Proposed PROPOSED MIDDLE SCHOOL CHANGES - Existing vs. Proposed PROPOSED HIGH SCHOOL CHANGES - Existing vs. Proposed ~&~¡x~ ~ ~ .

Pest Control: Approximately $40.00 monthly. Janitorial Services: $300.00 monthly. Refuse Collection: $40.00 monthly. Miscellaneous Plumbing Repairs, Painting, Exterior Maintenance, Roofing, A/C Maintenance, etc. : $200.00 monthly. Other things to consider which will be needed are handicap facilities to meet ADA requirements such as a handicap ramp which we can build in house. We have an air conditioning window unit removed from Fire Station 1 that can be used and some interior furnishings such as counters which can be remodeled to fit. These are only estimated costs but I am confident they are pretty close. As the need arises for other minor construction projects, we may be able to assist to reduce costs.

Harden, City Manager From: Joseph M. Safford, Finance Director Date: November 1, 1994 Subject: Emerqency Transport Services This department has been assigned the task to evaluate the Bethesda Ambulance Service and the City of Delray Beach Fire Department proposals to provide medical transport services. BACKGROUND The City of Delray Beach Fire Department is currently providing non-transport basic life support (BLS) and advanced life support (ALS) medical services under a Class A "Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity" (COPCN) by Palm Beach County in addition to providing fire suppression services. The present staffing level on each shift (at each station) to provide these services consists of the fOllowing: · Station 1 (Total Personnel- 7) Fire Engine- 3 personnel Fire/Rescue Vehicle- 2 personnel Battalion Chief- 1 personnel EMS Supervisor- 1 personnel · Station 2 (Total Personnel- S) Fire Engine- 2 personnel Fire/Rescue Vehicle- 2 personnel Support Vehicle (HAZMAT) - 1 personnel · Station 3 (Total Personnel- S) Fire Ladder Truck- 3 personnel Fire/Rescue Vehicle- 2 personnel · Station 4 (Total Personnel- 4) Fire Engine- 2 personnel Fire/Rescue Vehicle- 2 personnel · Station 5 (Total Personnel- 3) Fire Engine- 3 personnel · Station 6 (Total Personnel- S) Highland Beach Fire Engine- 3 personnel Fire/Rescue Vehicle- 2 personnel TOTAL SHIFT- 29 PERSONNEL . . . . Page 2 I FIRE DEPARTMENT PROPOSAL , The City of Delray Beach Fire Department presented to the City Commission a report investigating different approaches to the delivery of emergency medical services entitled "Emergency Medical Services- Transportation Feasibility Study" dated July, 1994. This report was a result of a study conducted by the Fire Department Transport Study Committee. This report concluded that there is growing trend for fire/rescue departments nationwide to assume the responsibility for medical transport as well as primary care. This was attributed to: 1. more efficient use of Fire Department personnel 2. more cost-effective pre-hospital emergency medical service system 3. uninterrupted, continuous care of patient to hospital 4. reduced possibility of communication error or omission 5. City has full control over quality standards for patient care, personnel, equipment, and supplies 6. reduced number of emergency vehicles on the road due to consolidation of services 7. fire/rescue departments would provide additional revenue sources that would reduce ad valorem dependence 8. City has full control over rates for emergency services that would be approved in a public hearing process The report stated that almost all municipalities in Palm Beach, Broward, and Dade County either already transport or are seeking approval to transport for either ALS or ALS/BLS services in the current fiscal year. An explanation and comparison of the current "two-tier system" to the recommended "one-tier system" was presented. The "two- tier system" presently used assumes that the Fire Department would be responsible for initial response and primary care and that Bethesda Ambulance Service would be responsible for patient transport. The recommendation of the Fire Department was for the City to go to a "one-tier system" where the Fire Department would be responsible for both the initial response, primary care and ultimate transport of a patient to the hospital. The Fire Department stated that 74.8% of all transports are ALS and 25.2% are BLS cases. This meant that Fire Department personnel, under the "two-tier system" accompanied the Bethesda Ambulance vehicle on at least 74.8% of all transports {projected to be 2,128 ALSr 1,307 BLS not including Highland Beach} . The BLS cases, in some instances, were borderline and the Fire Department also accompanied the ambulance on those specific cases more as a precaution. The Fire Department concluded that their out of service time would be increased by 5.8% if the Fire Department also provided the transport service primarily due to transporting BLS patients and the associated paperwork needed for billing purposes. . Page 3 In addition to medical training and experience, the Fire Department personnel also receive training in fire suppression and other technical areas such as: hazardous materials dive rescue fire safety inspection pediatric advanced life support pre-hospital trauma life support basic trauma life support high angle rescue confined space rescue extrication vehicle operations The report included billing rates for Bethesda Ambulance Service which were: ALS- $280.00 BLS- $200.00 Oxygen- $25.00 Mileage- $6.00/mile Waiting- $45.00 per 1/2 hour The report projected an annual Net Revenue to the City of $374,000 from the incorporation of transport services into the Fire Department. This included a 40% uncollectible assumption and reduced rates of $260.00 for ALS, $190.00 for BLS, $22.00 for oxygen and $5.00/mile (assumed 3 miles per transport). It also included one (1) firefighter/EMT per shift to Station 4 with additional operational costs. FIRE DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATIONS The City of Delray Beach should utilize a one-tier ALS and BLS primary response, treatment, and transport EMS system operated by the Fire Department. This conclusion was supported after analyzing the following key considerations: · patient treatment with uninterrupted care, keeping in mind what was best for the patient · more efficient use of Fire Department staff and resources · City control of quality issues such as patient care, personnel, training, equipment, and supplies · reduction in the number of emergency vehicles on the road · public input on rates and charges · application of home rule principles to an area of vital citizen concern and importance · reduced reliance on ad valorem taxes · user fee concept would allow appropriate costs incurred by visitors to be paid by visitors and not our citizens · net revenue to City- $374,000 . Page 4 I BETHESDA AMBULANCE SERVICE PROPOSAL , Bethesda Ambulance Service made a presentation to the City Commission on September 20, 1994 and provided a written report of this presentation October 28r 1994 entitled "Enhancing Delray Beach EMS Services". This report presented options to restructure the present organization, equipment .. and procedures of the Fire Department into a "two-tier system" with significant savings to the City of Delray Beach. The primary focus of this report was to continue the present public/private enterprise partnership between the City of Delray Beach Fire Department and Bethesda Ambulance Service for our ambulance transport services and reduce City costs while improving efficiency by the following: · restructuring the Fire Department by the elimination of 26 paramedic positions · eliminating 6 fire/rescue vehicles, selling them to Bethesda Ambulance Service at market value · eliminating the Fire Department medical director · upgrading all fire engine/pumpers and the ladder truck to ALS primary response vehicles · improving response time of Bethesda Ambulance Service by changing present MEDCOM dispatching to simultaneous 911 direct dispatching · improving response time further by changing present pOlicy of CODE 1 response to CODE 3 response · initiating Bethesda Ambulance Service responsibility for "rehabilitation" medical services at all fire scenes The potential annual savings to the City were stated to be $1,689,000 with a five-year savings of $7,889,846. Bethesda Ambulance Service presently has 19 ALS ambulances with 15 ambulances in normal service with the other 4 in reserve. These units are equipped with 12-lead EKG technology and are dispatched using state-of-the-art computer aided dispatch and Automatic Vehicle Tracking systems. The report contained a comprehensive outline of their organizational structure, employee wages and benefits, training programs, employee diversity schedules, and other internal information~- Continuity of Care Bethesda Ambulance Service (BAS) takes the position that the Fire Department contention that it is important to have continuity of care is not correct. In fact, they contend "transfer of care has never been shown to negatively impact patient care or patient outcome". Their position is that the two-tier system is better than the one-tier system since, by handing-off the patient, the primary response units return or stay in their assigned zones and are available at all times for subsequent possible responses. The two-tier system is thus an improved service level over the one-tier system. . . . Page 5 Response Time BAS states that a two-tier system average response time is 5.9 minutes and 7.0 minutes for a one-tier system. Thus they conclude that a two-tier system is superior to the one-tier system. Basic System Desiqn BAS recommends a system that would provide two (2 ) ALS response teams consisting of 1 ALS fire engine/pumper from the Fire . Department and 1 ALS ambulance transport unit from BLS. This system would be monitored with one (1) medical director from BAS. All units would respond CODE 3 from a common dispatch signal. BAS would purchase all Fire Department rescue vehicles with the exception of the Highland Beach vehicle. BAS would initiate response to all fire calls to establish a site "rehabilitation" sector which would effectively free up two (2 ) additional firefighters to engage in fire suppression activities. Benefits BAS states that this reorganization of the Fire Department and some of its procedures would benefit patient care since it would produce the fastest response times which is accomplished by providing two units from different locations. They also contend that the City would benefit by utilizing BAS services at no cost resulting in a higher level of service and lower costs and also since BAS would provide up-front cash for the purchase of the Fire Department vehicles. They state that the City would have reduced liability and workers compensation costs and exposure since they do not have to provide coverage for BAS personnel or equipment. Cost Savinqs BAS estimates that the City can reduce operating costs in FY 1994-95 by $1,400,000 by the reduction of 26 paramedics and an additional $250,000 in revenue would be raised through the sale of the Fire Department rescue vehicles, and with other operating cost savings, for a total first year savings of $lr689,000. They reported that these savings over a five-year period could exceed $7,889,846. ISO Fire Protection Classification BAS recognized the Fire Department concern that the BAS system would have a negative impact upon the City's ISO rating was addressed and they conceded that the greatest possible impact would be for the City to be reclassified from a 2 to a 3 but this could not occur until the year 2004. This rating would not impact residential family homes and would only impact commercial by $30.00 per $l,OOOrOOO of fire insurance coverage. Page 6 Fire Suppression Coveraqe BAS recognized the Fire Department concern that the BAS system would have a negative impact upon fire suppression coverage in that the proposed reduction of 26 personnel equates to six (6) personnel per shift reduction. BAS responds that the City should be able to use our mutual aid agreements with other entities for major fires, that BAS would be forming a "rehabilitation" sector at fire scenes which would free-up two (2 ) firefighters, and that there are few fires handled with 29 personnel (current shift personnel at all 6 stations) that can't be handled with 2~personnel. y:.~~~ Implementation Schedule BAS can provide full implementation of their plan within 45 days. BETHESDA AMBULANCE SERVICE RECOMMENDATIONS Bethesda Ambulance Service recommends that the Fire Department utilize a two-tier ALS and BLS primary response, treatment, and transport EMS system with the Fire Department conducting primary response and treatment and BLS providing the transport. This conclusion was supported with the following: · restructuring of the Fire Department by the elimination of 26 paramedic positions · elimination of six (6 ) fire/rescue vehicles, sell to Bethesda Ambulance Service at market value · elimination of the Fire Department medical director · upgrading all fire engine/pumpers and the ladder truck to ALS primary response vehicles · improving response time of Bethesda Ambulance Service by changing present MEDCOM dispatching to simultaneous 911 direct dispatching · improving response time further by changing present pOlicy of CODE 1 response to CODE 3 response · Bethesda would initiate "rehabilitation" at fire scenes · net savings- FY 1994-95 is $1..689,000 · net savings- five years is $7,889r846 . . Page 7 I FINANCE DEPARTMENT OBSERVATIONS ~ In order to analyze the Bethesda Ambulance proposal, it is necessary to evaluate departmental staffing on a per station basis which was not done within the proposal itself to determine the impact of the employee and vehicle eliminations recommended by BAS. 1. Fire DeDartment Staffinq FIRE DEPARTMENT PRESENT BETHESDA SERVICE PROPOSAL · Station 1 (Total Personnel- 7) Fire Engine- 3 Fire Engine- 3 Fire/Rescue Vehicle- 2 Battalion Chief- 1 Battalion Chief- 1 EMS Supervisor- 1 EMS Supervisor- 1 · Station 2 (Total Personnel- S) Fire Engine- 2 Fire Engine- 3 Fire/Rescue Vehicle- 2 Support Vehicle (HAZMAT) - 1 Support Vehicle-1 · Station 3 (Total Personnel- S) Ladder Truck- 3 Ladder Truck- 3 Fire/Rescue Vehicle- 2 · Station 4 (Total Personnel- 4) Fire Engine- 2 Fire Engine- 3 Fire/Rescue Vehicle- 2 · Station 5 (Total Personnel- 3) Fire Engine- 3 Fire Engine- 3 · Station 6 (Total Personnel- S) Highland Beach Fire Engine- 3 Fire Engine- 3 Fire/Rescue Vehicle- 2 Fire Rescue- 2 TOTAL SHIFT- 29 PERSONNEL TOTAL SHIFT-23 PERSONNEL Reduction o~ 6 personnel x 4.35 (shift factor)= 26.10 employees BAS recommended the elimination of 26 paramedics with 3 persons on each fire apparatus. The next step in the evaluation is to determine what are the acceptable standard responses to fire and medical emergencies to determine if the BAS proposal leaves enough personnel in each station to properly respond to these emergencies without jeopardizing multiple zone integrity. . Page 8 2. Normal Sta££inq Requirements The National Fire Protection Association Standard Response Recormnendations (Fire Department Occupational Safety and Health program- Section A-6-4.1) states: "It is recormnended that a minimum acceptable fire company staffing level should be 4 members responding on or arriving with each engine and each ladder company responding to any type of fire. The minimum acceptable staffing level for companies responding in high-risk areas should be 5 members responding or arriving with each engine company and 6 members responding or arriving with each ladder company. These recormnendations are based on experience derived from actual fires..." The proposal by BAS recormnends 3-member engine/pumpers and a 3- member pumper/ladder truck and, since these are the only personnel left on duty at an individual station (2-member fire/rescue personnel were eliminated), this staffing would not meet the minimum standards of the NFPA for a fire-fighting response team. STANDARD RESPONSE STAFFING BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT Vehicle Accident w/ Injuries Fire/Rescue Truck (ALS) with 2 personnel (Bunker Gear) Fire Engine/Pumper (BLS) with 2-3 personnel EMS Supervisor (dependent upon known severity) Under the current staffing by the Fire Department, each station (with the exception of Station 5) has the ability to respond to a vehicular accident call with injuries without impacting a second station. The BAS proposal would require that two (2) stations respond to vehicular accident with injuries to provide adequate staffing on scene. Medical Emerqency (Unknown) Fire/Rescue Truck (ALS) with 2 personnel Fire Engine/Pumper (BLS) with 2-3 personnel Under the current staffing by the Fire Department, each station (with the exception of Station 5) has the ability to respond to a medical emergency of unknown severity call without impacting a second station. The BAS proposal would require that two (2) stations respond to this type of call in order to provide adequate staffing on scene. Medical Emerqency (Cardiac Arrest) Fire/Rescue Truck (ALS) with 2 personnel Fire Engine/Pumper (BLS ) with 2-3 personnel EMS Supervisor Under the current staffing by the Fire Department, each station (with the exception of Station 5) has the ability to respond to a medical emergency involving a cardiac arrest call without impacting a second station. The BAS proposal would require that two (2 ) stations respond to this type of call in order to provide adequate staffing on scene. , Page 9 Structure Fire Fire Engine/Pumper (BLS) with 2-3 personnel Fire Engine/pumper (BLS) with 2-3 personnel Fire/Rescue Truck (ALS) with 2 personnel (Bunker Gear) Fire/Rescue Truck (ALS) with 2 personnel (Bunker Gear) Fire Engine/Ladder Truck (BLS) with 3 personnel Fire Battalion Chief EMS Supervisor Under this scenerio, the Fire Department currently sends a minimum of 13-15 personnel from 3 stations leaving a fire/rescue vehicle in one of those three stations. Under the BAS proposal, this type of response would impact the total manpower of 4 stations. The recommendation of BAS to set up a "rehabilitation site" at all fire scenes could be of some assistance if there were medical emergencies, but the Fire Department fire/rescue personnel respond in bunker gear and are available for fire suppression, hose layingr search and rescue, and other types of duties to include medical emergencies dependent upon the situation found at the scene. The BAS personnel have no bunker gear and would not be allowed within the critical zone of the actual fire. Response Overlap Data Using a one-year period, in an average typical month the Fire Department has reported the following multiple response data, which means that several accidents or requests for service occurred at the same time: Fire and Fire/Rescue units overlapped 732 times per month or 23.61 times per day Fire/Rescue units only overlapped 554 times per month or 17.87 times per day Fire/Rescue units on fire responses overlapped 178 times per month or 5.74 times per day This data shows that presently, one (1) station can handle an overlap (with the exception of Station 5) whereas in the BAS proposal two (2) stations would be required to handle an overlap. This would represent a rather severe reduction of service level availability compared to present. 3. Response Times BAS contends that their two-tier proposal would have faster response time than the Fire Department one-tier system. This contention was taken from a quote in the Annals of Emerqency Medicine article entitled "Emergency Medical Services" and states "the average response time of two-tier systems is 5.9 minutes versus 7.0 minutes for one-tier systems". This quote was taken out of context and would not be applicable to our situation nor our demographics. For example, this article was based upon a survey of 25 cities of 400,000 or more in population. Of those 25 cities, 88% did not USD DrivDtD . Page 10 ambulance services. In other words, the two-tier systems referred to by BAS were internal to the particular municipality, they had their own ambulance service within their municipality. Therefore, this article actually supports the Fire Department proposal and not the BAS proposal for ambulance services. The Fire Department currently provides an average response time for all zones on a year-round basis of under 4 1/2 minutes. The Fire Department proposal for making the fire/rescue vehicles the transport vehicle would essentially mean that the primary care vehicle and the transport vehicle response times would both be under 4 1/2 minutes since they are the same vehicle. Bethesda Ambulance Service stated, that as part of their quality program, one of their goals is lito be under 10 minutes 90% of the time". This is certainly not comparable to the Fire Department proposal nor is it comparable to our present service level response. 4. Dispatchinq Operations BAS recommends a direct tone out of the Delray Beach Fire Department and BAS at the same time in order to improve BAS response times. They recommend against the use of MEDCOM. The City originally went to MEDCOM when the Highland Beach service was initiated in October, 1993 since Highland Beach is in another ambulance zone and they did not want their dispatchers possibly confused as to what ambulance to send to what call. MEDCOM also provided a more accurate and accountable system for verifying dispatch, enroute, and arrival times. In this regard, if there were any disputes or complaints regarding response times or performance, they would be properly investigated by the Palm Beach County EMS Division. Almost all coastal municipalities within Palm Beach County (including Palm Beach County itself) use MEDCOM. Boynton Beach actually had a direct service with BAS similar to what they are recommending for Delray Beach and BAS recently recommended to Boynton Beach to change to MEDCOM. This inconsistency in positions taken by BAS does not lend credence to their position that this change would improve response times. 5. Cost Analysis of Proposals The Fire Department projected a net revenue to the City of $374,000. This would represent a millage reduction of .15 mils (1 mil equals approximately $2,435,000) which would equate to an $11.25 savings on a $100,000 house with a $25,000 homestead exemption. The financial calculation of this $374',000 appears to be accurate and conservative in that it is based upon a 60% collection rate for billings which appears to be low compared to surrounding municipalities that perform this same service. , Page 11 The BAS proposal represented that they could save the City $1,689,000 in FY 1994-95 which would equate to .69 mils or a savings of $51. 75 on a $100rOOO home with a $25,000 homestead exemption. Their figures, with minor adjustments, appear to be reasonably correct. BAS must realize also that the elimination of 26 personnel would have to be accomplished in accord with union guidelines regarding seniority "bumping", that there would be significant amounts of severance pay not accounted for, and that there would be a serious personnel morale impact that could have future cost considerations. Also, their report is not conclusive on whether the Highland Beach fire/rescue trucks and personnel would be impacted. We have assumed that they would purchase 6 fire/rescue vehicles and the personnel at Highland Beach would not lose either their rescue truck or their personnel in accordance with our existing contract with this City. This department would express a concern over the financial viability of BAS considering the fact that almost all municipal clients in their assigned service area do not utilize private ambulance services (or are considering not utilizing them) or only use them to a minor extent, the County itself appears to be in the process of changing their utilization of BAS service and that private clients such as JFK Hospital have ceased their services with BAS. We would question at what point in time, considering these actions, would BAS be required to reduce its workforce and vehicle units to a level that would essentially mean financial insolvency or require them to sell their assets to another ambulance entity and create an impact upon our services. If the City sells its fire/rescue units to BAS and terminates 26 paramedics r in accordance with their recommendations, the City could have an extremely difficult and costly task to recover to the present levels of manpower and equipment. ~ CONCLUSION I The proposal by Bethesda Ambulance Service cannot be considered acceptable to the City of Delray Beach for the following reasons: · staffing levels remaining after the elimination of 26 paramedics are not sufficient to respond to even minor calls without impacting several stations leaving multiple zones open and unmanned for subsequent calls · minor emergencies normally requiring the services of one station must use two stations under this proposal · information supplied in the BAS proposal does not address present service level characteristics by individual stations which would have pointed out why their proposal would not work in this municipality · the present level of service would be substantially reduced contrary to the conclusions presented in the BAS proposal . Page 12 · BAS is issuing contradictory recommendations to different entities (i. e. MEDCOM versus direct line dispatching) which would create uncertainty relative to their claims about improved response times using direct line dispatching · BAS did not address our contractual committment to Highland Beach which requires MEDCOM services since they are in a different service zone · articles used as reference materials by BAS actually contradict their position on two-tier systems and service level requirements (7 personnel most effective on cardiac arrests, for example), references are taken out of context and are not applicable to the demographic characteristics in Delray Beach · response times would actually improve under the Fire Department proposal since the transport vehicle is also the primary care vehicle and not the BAS position that two vehicles from two different sites would be faster · private ambulance services are rarely used by municipalities in this area and BAS has been losing clientele in their, primary service area (Palm Beach County, among others, now considering changing their service) · at some point, BAS loss of clientele would have a financial impact that could put the City in jeopardy if BAS purchases our fire/rescue units and we terminate 26 paramedics · overall BAS proposal would reduce Fire Department personnel, reduce number of fire/rescue vehicles, create significant personnel problems, and would reduce present service levels for which the Fire Department would be held ultimately accountable for- not BAS - since BAS is only required to transport patients under their proposal (as is their present responsibility) · BAS proposal would only reduce millage by .69 mils or $51.75 per household ($100rOOO home with $25,000 homestead) on an annual basis and the potential risks presented in service level response capabilities would not be worth it Please contact us if there is any further data required by your office or if we can be of any further assistance. . . . \ tlTY OF DELIA' IEA[H FIRE DEPARTMENT SERVING DELRAY BEACH · GULF STREAM · HIGHLAND BEACH DRRAY BEACH , 1993 MEMORANDUM TO: DA VID T.

Reimbursement for State Grants 17 , ". . MEDCOM DISPATCHING The City of Delray Beach utilizes the services of Palm Beach County's MEDCOM communication center to dispatch ambulances within the City. This has been the case since October 1993, with the activation of the service contrdct with Highland Beach. The change from the previous system of contacting the ambulance company directly was based on the current use of two (2) different ambulance companies for servicing Delray Beach and Highland Beach. This also provided a more accurate and accountable system for verifying dispatch, enroute and arrival times. The fact that MEDCOM is a third party, there should be no questions concerning inaccurate data collection by the City. Any complaints regarding response timelperfonnance could be properly investigated by Palm Beach County's EMS Division. Attached is a spread sheet that identifies methods of ambulance dispatch for coastal jurisdictions in Palm Beach County. Please note the exceptions. Also attached is a letter from Boynton Beach Deputÿ Chief Jim Ness describing that Bethesda Ambulance requested Boynton Beach to discontinue direct dispatching of the ambulance and to utilize :MEDCOM for dispatch. In the Bethesda Ambulance Service proposal a statement was made in section 2, page 141 last paragraph which states, "Unlike municipal EMS Service, Bethesda response times are monitored by Palm Beach County on a monthly basis". This statement is additional support for dispatching through MEDCOM. MEDCOM is capable of maintaining accurate records if they do the dispatching of the ambulances. MEDCOM's monitoring of the dispatching system allows them to identify situations where an ambulance has not responded within five (5) minutes. MEDCOM uses the tenn "busy" to identify this situation. "BUSY" - When an agency has been dispatched to an emergency call and five(S) or more minutes has elapsed before a unit goeS enroute" or when an agency is unable to respond to an emergency call and another agency is called to respond (back up). The ambulance zones that Bethesda Ambulance Service is responsible for are Zones 2, 5 and 7. Bethesda Ambulance Service had 593 "busy" incidents in twelve months, October, 1993 to September, 1994.

N~ DATE: September 29, 1994 Re: Dispatching of Bethesda Ambulance Units . . Pursuant to our conversation regarding our ambulance dispatch protocols, I am providing the following infonnation with our experiences with Bethesda Ambulance Service. Several years ago, when we began our city wide dispatch system, a program was instituted to enhance our.ability to communicate with Bethesda Ambulance SaMce. This system consisted of a 8OO.mHz base station supplied by us to the BAS dispatch office. This radio allowed .us to tone out BAS simultaneously as our units were also dispatched. Direct communications between their dispatchers and our units allowed for immediate exchange of infonnation such as, routing instryctions, requests for equipment.. ~jrect. cancellations, ETAs, etc. There were no delays in any aspects of our communications between the two agencies. This system worked well and we felt it provided the highe~ level of cooperation and communication available. This system, however, was changed at the request of Bethesda Ambulance Service during their recent implementation of their new CAD system. We Were instructed to begin contacting them through MedCom and that the previous system was no longer needed. Our radio was disassembled and removed. In complying with their wishes, we are rtCNi dispatching their units under the same procedures you currently utilize. It is interesting to note that this iß the same procedure that they were critical of during the recent workshop before your commissioners. ' 1-3 5J.~rú;as (jauway to tM (julfstream , · " '. , 1 , BRIEF mSTORY OF THE AMBULANCE CODE ONE RESPONSE In 1982, an assessment of the level of response by the ambulance company was made. The company was AA Ambulance. The department had been receiving numerous complaints from the residents in the North end of the City particularly the area around NE. 22nd Street and North Swinton Avenue In reference to siren noise from the responding ambulance. We discussed the need to have an ambulance responding code 3, .(lights and siren) to every call since 0111' ParamedicslFirefighters were already on the scene rendering care. It is the function of the Paramedic to stabilize the patient in the field, so the patient can be transported to the hospital in a non-emergency mode. Keeping this in mind and the request from the citizens for relief of the siren noise, we decided to have the ambulance respond code 1 (no lights and siren). We did leave the ability for them to be "stepped-up" to code 3 at anytime during the response, depending upon the severity of the call. We provided the ambulance with our radio frequency to improve this communication. Approximately six (6) months after this procedure was in place, Mr. Tom Croft, the owner of AA Ambulance Company notified me that his insurance rate had dropped due to the reduction of exposure from responding code 3 to all of the calls. This procedure has now been in effect for the past twelve (12) years. and was in effect in 1985 when AA Ambulance was purchased by to Bethesda Hospital and Bethesda Ambulance Service was created. . 2 , . .

RESPONSE INFORMATION FROM BAS The Department had been experiencing discrepancies in receiving actual time of arrivals versus the reported estimated time of arrival.(ET A) trom Bethesda Ambulance Service. The Fire FighterlParamedics became aware of this problem following several incidents where it was obvious erroneous ETA's were being communicated to the City's dispatchers. Upon' questioning Bethesda Ambulance personnel it was found that the ambulance units were calling ftom much greater distances than their estimated time of arrivals indicated. Many of the units were actually responding ftom Zone 7, the zone North of Zone 5. In an attempt to receive accurate information from Bethesda Ambulance Service, dispatch began requesting the location from which they were responding. This gives our Fire FighterlParamedics on the scene a better reference as to the disposition of the patient. We then know if we need to increase the response of the ambulance, cancel or have them remain enroute. This information is important in making medical decisions concerning patient care and treatmen~. Beginning October 13, 1994, Bethesda Ambulance refused to provide the estimated time of arrival and the location from which they were responding. The only information they would provide was "responding in Zone and within 20 minutes" . This situation jeopardizes patient care as it does not allow the Fire FighterlParamedic.to assess what means of transport would be in the patient's best interest. The Communication Division provided tape recordings where the ~bulance personnel were quoted as saying such statements as: "I can't give you that infonnation per my supervisor" "I can only give our ETA" In other incidents the ambulance personnel refused to answer the radio when their ETA and location was requested. This situation demonstrates a clear disregard for the patient. Recently the Bethesda Ambulance personnel have been giving the appropriate information in most cases. But there is still inconsistency with some of their people. 4-1 . . , hf2- r ~'I - . . [IT' DF DElHAY BEACH :-....-:."\ - . . , . ..

Bethesda Ambulance Service extends a courtesy to the City of Delray Beach (the ·City·) to notify the City's dispatchers of response information including which unit is responding and, if requested, the estimated time of arrival (·ETA .). This counesy has been extended for many years to the City. . It has been brought to my attention by Bethesda Ambulance Service ("BAS") staff that additional information .is now being requested by the Delray Beach Fire Department dispatchers. Specificålly, the City's dispatchers are now asking exact location of the unit each time the BAS unit extends the courtesy of notifying the City of its response. Please allow this letter to confirm my earlier conversation with Mr. Bob Barcinski, Assistant. City Manager, in which Bethesda.Ambulance Service reconfirmed its wil1ingness to continue to provide to the City dispatchers such information as has traditionally been given. However. the exact location of the unit responding is not part of the BAS policy, nor has the City seen a need for the previous ten (10) years to compile such information, and thus, it will not be provided. The BAS crew is required by law to communicate with both Palm Beach County's MedCom and the BAS Communications Center. I am sure you understand that additional, unnecessary radio communiéation can be a distraction to the responding paramedics. Bethesda therefore requests that the City dispatchers be notified of the above issue and cease requesting the units location. . As you are aware, the City directs Bethesda to respond to all 9-1-1 calls Code I - without lights and siren. Bethesda Ambulance Service continues to feel that the main concern for both the City paramedics and the Bethesda paramedics is the best possible care for the 5319 Lake Worth Road, Lake Worth, Florida 33463 (407) 969-1484 4-4 , , October 14, 1994 Mr. David Harden Page 2 patient. If there is a concern on the part of the City regarding response times, Bethesda Ambulance Service continues to offer to respond Code 3 (Jights and sirens) to all 9-1-1 EMS calls within the City. Should you wish to discuss this matter, I will be glad to arrange a time to meet or you may contact my office at 243-1003. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Sincerely. ~~# M. Scott Rester Administrator cc: Robert Hill ~omas Lynch obert Rehr - . . 4-4.1 '. · I OBSERVATIONS OF THE BETHESDA AMBULANCE SERVICE DISPATCH Conceptually, the Computer Aided Dispatch System of Bethesda Ambulance is indeed state of the art. However, in reality, many problems exist within both the system and the dispatch center operations. These problems go beyond the normal start-up problem of a newly installed system. Under normal situations there are three eight hour shifts. During the day shift the center is manned by three personnel consisting of a ca1.1 taker, dispatcher, and supervisor. After 4:00 p.m. there is no supervisory personnel in the dispatch center therefore the center is manned by only two personnel consisting of a call taker and dispatcher. This creates some hardship to personnel if one of the two personnel leaves the center as there is no relief for breaks or back up personnel to assist with multiple calls. At the current time the only standard operating procedure utilized ·in the case of a no show of relief dispatchers is that the on duty dispatcher must reInain. This could cause personnel to work 16 hours or more resulting in reduced efficiency of the dispatcher. The Computer Aided Dispatch System runs on a Window based program. It was designed to enable dispatchers to control vehicle assignment and positioning. The positioning portion .of the program is visual to the dispatcher on the computer screen however, the dispatcher must radio each unit it's positioning requirements. The acknowledgment of the transmission is no guarantee that the unit is or will be moving into position in a timely fashion. Many times unit position shown on the computer screen does not indicate the actual position of that unit This is due to personnel not responding to verbal positioning orders and the lack of an automatic vehicle locator (A VL) system. The A VL has been discussed over the last year but has not been funded or installed. 5-1 · I have noticed the following operational problems with the Computer Aided Dispatch System: Not user friendly System failures on a regular basis Pager notification not always operable Before the issue of who would transport ALS patients, no staging was built into the system. All units responded from one location in Boynton Beach. Since the Fire Department has indicated a desire to transport, Bethesda Ambulance Service has instituted a system of staging in Zone 5 which includes Delray Beach. Zone S extends from AlA to 441 and the CIS canal to Lanatana Road. This system is based on the number of units available. Due to the heavy call volume within Bethesda's area of responsibility there is no guarantee a.s to the number of units that would be available in the City limits. Many times I have dispatched units from locations as far away as Lake Worth. When you take into consideration the number of emergency calls, non- emergency transfers, vehicle maintenance and office mandated trips, I feel as a former employee pf Bethesda Ambulance Service that they will not be able to provide the service as indicated in their proposal. Richard D'Atrio Note: 1be Delray Beach Fire Department has been informed that Bethesda Ambulance Service uses software from American Tri- Tech; Reno, Nevada. We have been unable to contact them for information regarding this software due to the time restrictions for this input and the time zone differences. 5-2 .

COMMON MEDICAL DIRECTOR - DR. R. WOLFF Nowhere in Palm Beach County does a non-governmental medical director control a public EMS system. In the Bethesda Ambulance Service proposal the needs, personnel, training, leadership and work schedules of the private and public EMS agencies are different It would be a conflict for one medical director to govern both agencies. The primary allegiance of the private medical director would be to the Bethesda Ambulance Services as they would be paying his salary. while the needs of the City would become secondary. This could represent a deterioration of service. Having a medical director of a private company as the medical director of the City of Delray Beach is somewhat like having the Fire Safety Officer from Rinker as the Fire Chief of the City. Needs and personnel are different It is important to have a medical director responsive to the needs of the City and its citizens. . . 8 'f ;'j''ft. ."Þ.\",,::-..,,- ,_ . ,;,;~:: 'f I li I J - . . . MEDICAL DIRECTORS - COMMON PROTOCOLS ON ACCOMPANYING ALS PATIENTS It is a common practice to ...not turn over an ALS patien~ but to accompany the patient tbrough-out Palm Beach, Broward, Dade and Martin Counties. In Orange and Seminole Counties the Fire Rescue Paramedic accompanies only on severely injured patients or when in the Paramedics judgment the patient may need his assistance. These counties have an oversight committee that controls the service delivery of the ambulance companies, $eÿ also contract with the ambulance companies to provide transportation. In Seminole County. they even dispatch the ambulances through their C.A.D. system. they say "no ambulance moves unless we tell it to do so". We have received correspondence from St. Petersburg Fire & Rescue in reference to the Pinellas County operation. To quote Division Chief R. Polk, "Currently, Pinellas County is under contract with Life Fleet Ambulance for the provision of transportation services. This includes the City of St Petersburg, which operates 10.stand alone rescue vehicles and two (2) ALS engine companies. These 12 units responded to over 35,000 calls in 1993. Of these calls, approximately 40% were ALS and approximately 65% of the calls resulted in transport". He goes on to describe some proble~ inherent to this system. Of concern to us is the statement on patient treatment and transport. Polk relates the following information: "We have experienced frequent situations in which F.D. Medics have treated patients and turned them over to the ambulance for transport. After leaving the scene, the ambulance crew then initiates further invasive care and repetitive treatment. In many C8S~ these patients are transported to the closest faci lity rather than the one of choice. It is questionable if these procedures are warranted. Again, F.D. medics tend to ride in to insure customer satisfaction". . Attached is a copy of Division Chief Polk's letter of October 17, 1994. 9-1 '~ OCT 17 '94 14:27 ST PETE FI~ DPT 116 PØ2 ,ndum Rescue To: From: Date: Subject: CuITently, Pinellas County is under contract with LifeF1eet Ambulance for the provision of' transportation serviœs.

Of these cans, approximately 40% were AlS and approximately 65% of the calls resulted in transport. Inherent to systems such as this, there are problems encountered. Below is a sample of situations tbat we routinely deal with: · System Status Managemcnt . This dictates the number and location of ambulance units based on past statistics. Actual impact seems to be the minimal amount of units to provide service at any given time. · Priority Dispatch (EMD) - This provides different modes of response based on caller information. AmbuJan<;e units respond non-emergency to three of the four modes which creates extended response times. The net result is that our F. D. units are transporting more frequently. It has become increasingly more difficult to explain to our customers why we are waiting lOt 15, 20t and sometimes 30 minutes to transport. · Turnover. of Personnel - F. D. crews have much greater longevity. Ambulance crews are, many times, unfamiliar to F. D. personnel which J lends itself to lack of trust. This, in turn, manifests itself in more F. D. . ride-ins with patients. · Scene Coordination - When F. D. is on-scene of any significant wcident, we use ICS. On numerous occasions, the ambulance personnel have tried to work independently, causing control and safety concerns.

Patient Treatment and Transport· We have experienced frequent situations in which F. D.

It is questionable if these procedures are warranted. Again, F. D. medics tend to ride in to insure customer satisfaction, . Specialty Functions· The ambulance company is typically unprepared to deal with unique situations, i.e.: water rescue, extrication, elevated rescue, entrapment, HazMat, etc. They depend on F. D. to perlorm these services, but want to transport after the patient is provided. 1l1is decreases their need for resources and increases the profit margin. As you can see, the above situations are compounded in direct proportion to the number of calls IUn. They mayor may not be consistent throughout the industry, but reflect our experience on a daily basis. Should you require further information, feel free to contact me. . 9-3 . ~~. ~~:, ! ~.;/ . I I - . - 12 LEAD EKG In regard to the statement that Bethesda Ambulance Service is one of the largest providers of 12 lead EKG technology in the State» one has to wonder what it is they mean. Does the word "providers" refer to the "private providers" of which they are one of many private providers of ambulance service. But a more meaningful sense, 12 lead EKG is a relatively new tool in the annamentarium of the paramedic. Maný new pieces of equipment have been introduced over the years which at first are highly touted and later are found covered with dust in the backroom. Such things as the MAST suit, Nitrous Oxide, Elder Valve Pressure Ventilation systems, ABCOR telemetry units and many others were once thought to be on the cutting edge of high tech» but are now not even used. Being the first to have something in medicine sounds good. But, we feel we must also be responsible. Due to the expense involved in purchasing the medical equipment carried by DeIray Beach Fire Rescue» a process of analysis and investigation is undertaken before items are procured. The Standards Committee in conjunction with the Medical Director takes a critical look at medical equipment before purchase in order to act in a responsible manner with the funds that the city» county and state provide us. Specifically regarding 12 Lead EKG Equipment, some members of the EMS community (Royal Palm Beach) that have had this technology for a while» have not found it to be a very cost effective item. There are good arguments on both sides of the fence on the subject of having or not having 12 lead EKG. It takes approximately one minute to perform a 12 lead EKG. Why should the fire departmect spend $12»000 to save the hospital one minute of work? In a system that does not have very many actUal heart attack patients (and it is only in the heart attack victim that 12 lead EKG's are of any value) is this cost outlay justifiable? Only 5% of patients with chest pain are having a heart attack. Most of the EMS agencies in Palm Beach County are in some phase of the processes of upgrading their equipment to 12 lead EKG. After appropriate analysis it was felt that the citizens of Delray Beach could benefit from this cost outlay. Delray Beach Fire Rescue has just received their 12 Lead EKG Equipment. The paramedics will be starting a training course in the near future so that the units can be put into service. We are less concerned with being "one of the largest providers of 12 lead EKG technology in the state" and more concerned with being the best and most responsible caregivers to £!1e citizens of Del ray Beach. 10-1 . . 12 Lead EKG Page -2- For example: The City of Miami Fire Rescue Department is a Beta test site for the use of 12 lead EKG monitoring in the prehospital setting. They have identified two (2) deficiencies in the use of 12 lead EKG monitoring in the field setting. 1. Miami Fire Rescue has recently returned all their Marquette 12 Lead EKG monitors to the vendor due to several malfunctions. These include LCD screen failure, limb lead failure, and two (2) critically significant failures of the external pacemaker and of the defibrillator. These are the same monitors that Bethesda Ambulance Service is currently using. 2. The Food and Drug Administration (p.D.A.) has ruled that the administration of clot busting agents (T.P .A., Steptokinase) to patients in the prehospital setting is not permitted. Because the patient becomes very ùnstable during and after the administration of these drugs, it was detennined that these medications must be administered in the stable environment of the hospital. These medications are administered within the first six (6) hours after the onset of the heart attack. Therefore, it was determined that these patients should be rapidly transported to the hospital to receive these medications and that 12 Lead EKG could be of sòme benefit to aid in the determination of a true myocardial infarction (heart attack) and the decision to rapidly transport the patient . 10-2 '" . .. ..... j I - . .' . CONTINUITY OF CARE In response to Bethesda Ambulance Service's proposal about the "Continuity of Care", "Transfer of care has never been shown to negatively impact patient care or patient outcome.", it also has never been shown that the transfer of care has a positive outcome in regard to transferring the patient to the same level of care. The lack of research on a subject does not mean a problem does not exist in this area. It is illogical to think that because a research paper does not exist that there is not a problem. The proposal sites the example of "Trauma Hawk" as the best example of EMS patients being "transferred" everyday,.... the most critical patients. The "Trauma Hawk " is a tool used, by the County's Trauma System, to rapidly transport trauma patients to the nearest Trauma Center, where time is of the essence. It should not be' compared to an ambulance, nor should the crew of "Trauma Hawk" (Palm Beach County Fire-Rescue's personnel) be compared to an ambulance crew. These paramedics have highly specialized training in trauma care beyond the State required paramedic training. They use advanced procedures and techniques such. as "cut down" intra-venous access and the use of paralyzing agents to control the patients airway. Therefore, when we "transfer" the patient to the "Trauma Hawk" we are transferring the patient to a higher level of care, not a lateral transfer of the patient to the same level of care. The transfer is in the best interest of the patient and transport time is critical for the severe trauma patient. . 11 , '. ~ ~ I - . . REHABILATION FOR FIREFIGHTERS Bethesda Ambulance Service does not meet the standards required for providing the necessary services included under rehabilitation operations at structure fires and other potential chemical exposure incidents for our department. Their EMT/Paramedic personnel and response equipment only meet the requirements as outlined in NFP A 1500 and 1561 for Basic Life Support services. They do not meet the requirements of NFP A 473 (industry standard) which reviews the' specialized level of eduèation and training required for proper assessment, and management of personnel, that are at risk from chemical exposures, in structure firefighting and Hazardous Materials Incident pursuant to EP A 40 CFR 311. Ninety six percent of our Department Paramedics meet or exceed these standards which require additional specialized training of 24 hours above Paramedic Certification. . 12 .. . 1 ."t¡ 1 a ¡. ~ I .

PRIMARY CARE SERVICES A meeting was held on November 1, 1994 with the EMS Fire Officers. a subcommittee of the Palm Beach County Fire Chiefs Association to discuss primary care service. The Health Care District (HCD) is going to act as a liaison with the Palm Beach County Health Department to set up these programs. Mr. Randy Knight was speaking for Dr. Thomas White of the HCD and stated that they would be the conduit for the Health Department and would furnish ~e vaccine and provide the training for immunizations. They were encouraged that the fire service in Palm Beach County is involved. Jackie Chesney who is also a liaison with the Health Department and Dr. Jean Melecki are to meet with the RCD people to initiate talks about the RCD and the Health Department working together. The Medical Directors are in support of the program through the HCD. . 14 . . I ~L '. ¡ . I . - . .
